The CXC Aldaba Long Necklace showcases a bold, elongated design anchored by a sculptural pendant, paired with a smooth leather cord that adds a refined contrast and timeless elegance. Each piece of jewelry by CXC is designed and handcrafted in our workshop in Spain. Our leather is made using a vegetable tanning process Exposure to light, air, and lights naturally darkens the leather Water and liquids can damage the jewel, staining it as if it were a piece of fabric We do not recommend using specialized cleaners for leather; however, if you choose this option, test it first on the back of the piece At CXC, we recommend using the jewel until the leather color ages naturally and uniformly For those who prefer the leather to darken immediately, you can carefully apply any moisturizing cream to the surface of the piece This process will darken it immediately as if it had already gone through a natural aging procedure, giving it a uniform color From this moment on, the leather should be regularly moisturized to keep it soft and flexible This recommendation applies to all dark leathers
